FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the Clarks Craft Swift is made from responsibly sourced premium leather, providing both durability and a refined appearance.

Is the footbed removable?

Yes, the footbed is designed to be removable, allowing for custom comfort, the use of personal orthotics, or easier cleaning and airing.

How do I clean my Clarks Craft Swift shoes?

For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth for light dirt and a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner for deeper cleaning. The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is a TPU spoiler?

Do these shoes come in different colors or sizes?

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel a bit too snug.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Remember the footbed is removable, which can provide extra space if needed. Leather uppers may stretch slightly with wear. If persistent, check your UK size conversion.

The leather looks dull or dry.

The premium leather requires care. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream to moisturize and restore its luster. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

There's a squeaking sound when I walk.

Often, this is caused by the removable footbed rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the footbed, sprinkling a little talcum powder inside the shoe, and then reinserting the footbed. Ensure the footbed is seated correctly.

The rubber outsole seems to be losing grip.

Check the outsole for excessive dirt or debris lodged in the tread. Clean thoroughly with a stiff brush and mild soapy water. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Try On: Upon receiving your Clarks Craft Swift, try them on to ensure the correct fit. Pay attention to length and width, leaving a small space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  2. Adjust Footbed: If the standard comfort doesn't suit you, consider removing the factory footbed and replacing it with personal orthotics or a different insole.

Compatibility

  • The Clarks Craft Swift is designed for casual and everyday wear. Its classic style pairs well with jeans, chinos, and other relaxed attire.
  • Suitable for a wide range of daily activities, from walking to light urban exploration.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a high-quality leather cleaner following the product's instructions. Regularly condition the leather to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Brush off any loose dirt from the rubber outsole. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water solution with a stiff brush, then rinse and air dry.
  • Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  • Footbed Care: The removable footbed can be taken out periodically for airing or gentle washing with mild soap and water if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
